Last Saturday, Ryan Gosling hosted Saturday Night Live for the third time in an episode so good that Taylor Swift herself announced her approval of the monologue. The sketch comedy show has been known for being inconsistent, given how little time there is to prepare and write for the week's show; the skits often get weaker as the night goes on.
Santa's not the punishing type, thank goodness, but the elves' subsequent attempts to seduce their boss only get more impassioned and less subtle. This is not a side of the toy factory that we learn about as kids, and yet the performers maintain the holiday spirit in a way that makes it kind of plausible. Bobby Moynihan does a great job as a bemused St. Nick who really isn't into any of this.
As Colleen explains that the little aliens were utterly fascinated when they discovered her butt, she turns Doug around and proceeds to punch it, pinch it, and briefly stick her face where the sun don't shine. Though Gosling's turned around, the viewer can tell that he's losing it—and that only makes it funnier.
This is one of the standouts of the episode, thanks in part to Gosling's sudden appearance. He's only there for about 25 seconds, but his persona as an ex-CIA agent who goes by "The Shredder" is a very welcome addition to this surprisingly catchy tune. Switching a Sudoku puzzle with one that can't be solved is one of several psychological attacks he comes up with.
